((This is a Private RP between Bubblegum Flavored Pandy and Myself. Please do not post unless asked. ))  --------------------------------- Finn slept the sleep of one of the innocent, utterly unguarded. He lay in the soft grass in the shade of a large tree. Having successfully garnered permission away from his mother (for once in his life he had actually asked to explore, but only after he had been caught escaping) he had decided that a nap was in order. This nap of course, had been after he'd galavanted through the forest and successfully splashed his way through streams. A soft sound bubbled past his lips and his legs twitched as he continued to run in his dream. Apparently, this little colt was active in both states of mind. How lovely for his parents, no?

Kiefer walked through the grass. It was the evening, but he wasn't tired yet. Kiefer always tended to stay up late, but also wake up early, and have a few naps during the day. Not the most regular sleep cycle, but it certainly worked for him. Now, as the sun began to set, he was getting rather bored. It had been such a long time since he had seen any of his old friends, and he missed them. Their lives could have changed so much in such time.
He neared a large tree, not even noticing the green colt under it that blended in so well with the grass. In fact, it seemed like quite a good place to sit and rest. The stallion walked under it, was about to lay down RIGHT on top of the little guy, when he noticed him.
"Oh..hello" he said, quickly realizing that he was asleep. His colors were basically unfamiliar, but his pattern, aside from the clover around his eye, was. Of course, that must be a common pattern.
Kiefer nudged the colt gently with his hoof to wake him up. It was getting late, certainly his mother would want him home soon.

Finn had been having a lovely dream, frolicking through the forest and finding so many interesting things to examine and play with, why would he want to leave it? Bounding over a fallen tree he suddenly realized that he was bounding over the edge of a cliff Oops.
"I didn' do it!" He shouted, wrenching out of his dream. Blinking blearily up he realized there was a another soquili near him, apparently nudging him to wake up.
Green eyes stared up at the older stallion with confusion, why was he trying to do something like that? "What are ye doin' here?" He asked, not understanding that the other stallion had probably come here to rest too.

Kiefer took a bit of a step back when the little colt woke up, and yelled, and then chuckled. That was the type of thing he might be compelled to say in waking when he was a colt. He had stumbled upon another little trouble maker, perhaps.
"Me? Well I was just going to lay down, and I came upon a little green colt. The question is, what are YOU doing here? It's getting late, have you got a mother worrying about you right about now?" he said, trying to word the question carefully. He knew full well that there were many orphaned foals around, but this one looked healthy and rather care free, as opposed to the rather hard-working, a bit worn out look to orphaned foals forced to fend for themselves.
Then again, what right did he have to tell this colt he should go home? Certainly at this age, Kiefer would be doing the exact same thing. Rebelling for no particular reason, going and exploring late into the night instead of going home, when he could easily go explore tomorrow instead and not get yelled at.

Finn blinked slowly up at the big yellowstallion, still trying to wrench himself out of the sleep and the dream he had been in.
"Little?" He stumbled to his feet and puffed out his chest, "I'm not little! I'm jest young!" He proclaimed, pouting a bit. The accent his Da had givento both his sons thoroughly laced his speech.
He paused again and tilted his head to the side, "Ma said I could go play," He stated matter-of-factly, "She didn' say when I had to be back, so I can come home whenever I like." He nodded once, emphasizing the statement. His little stub of a tail flicked in the late afternoon breeze, "Ma gave me permission ter come here so it's all good!" A brilliant innocent grin, for once he was telling the truth!
Tilting his head to the side, he gave this yellow stallion an odd look, "What about ye?" He asked, "Shouldn' ye be goin' home? Isn't yer ma lookin' for ye?"

Kiefer had to laugh when the colt claimed not to be little, something he remembered saying quite often. "Well, you are little compared to me. All foals are little. You are little because you are young, though" he said, nodding and reassuring him.
He wondered who this colt's mother was, having such a rambunctious little guy. "Well it is getting late. I think she would want you home before sunset. But, do as you please. I can't really boss you around now, can I?" he said, glad he was at least SAYING the right thing. When it came to actually making the colt go home, he knew he couldn't. He probably COULD force him...but he saw the colt was having far to much fun to actually enforce his words.
"My mother?" he asked, laughing again. "Oh, she isn't worried. In fact, when I was younger, she said I could go off and play, and I just never came back. So I'm not going to. Because, you know. If you say out at night too much, you start to forget about your family. It's sad, but come on. It's worth it, right?" he said. It was a lie, but maybe it would scare the colt into going home. Certainly he at least liked his family, and would be scared at the thought of forgetting about him. Kiefer knew at that age, he would be.

Finn stared up at the larger stallion, "Yer not bigger than me dah," He pointed out with a snort, but he quickly dropped the subject in favor of another, "I'll get big though! Jest ye wait and see!" He flicked his stub of a tail and tilted his head to the side incuriosity.
"Aaaah...." He mumbled, fidgeting, "She said I could jest come home whenever I liked...." As long as it was before sunset... As if he would tell that part to a complete stranger! A cheerful--and completely innocent--smile was granted to this adult. It seemed he knew things and felt the same way Finn did. That was a great surprise!
He blinked once and stared up at the yellow and brown stallion, chewing on his words. So...if he never went home, he'd forget his family? No! That wasn't true! He'd never forget his Ma and Da and he'd never forget his brother, even if he'd been away for ages! He puffed out his chest in defiance, "Nope! I'd never ferget me family, you might, but I sure won't!" He piped, nodded once to confirm.

Kiefer grinned "Well, your dad and I are probably roughly the same size, and one day you will be bigger. But right now" he leaned down a bit so he was eye level with the colt. "You're rather small. No worries though. I remember being that small, it isn't much fun." he straightened up again. "Well, it is fun. But it does become tiring at one point" he said, remembering his frustration at being small.
The stallion smiled, not quite believing him. Seemed odd that a mother would be smart enough than to just tell a colt to come home whenever. Odds would be that the colt would just loose it's way. But maybe the mother didn't know that?
"Oh, you have no control over it" he said, having a bit of innocent fun with the colt. "It happens to everyone, it doesn't matter how much you love your family. That is just...you know, how it is. Your mother probably didn't tell you about it as to not scare you. Or maybe you just weren't paying attention when she told you?" he questioned. As a colt, Kiefer knew he often tuned out when his mother lectured. Later he usually regretted that.

Finn stared balefully up at the yellow stallion, not willing to move an inch on the height meter. His Da was bigger than this stallion! He knew it! Watching as the older male put himself on eye-level he gave the other a frank look, "Ye aren't very good in the pleasin' department, are ye?" He asked bluntly, canting his head to the side.
The smile he was giving the little colt seemed to indicate he didn't believe a word the green boy said. Darn it, he'd need to work harder then.
Finn gave the older stallion a defiant look, "Look, mister," He said calmly, not happy at all that this guy was trying to make it seem like Finn would be stupid enough to let his family vanish from his mind. Maybe that was the case with this guy, but Finn wasn't ever going to forget his family! "Don't ye say that me ma would do this'er'that! Ye have no right ter do such a thing!" He huffed and continued, "Ye may or may not remember yer family, but who says that I won't?"
He stamped a hoof in protest, "Ye're jest tryin' to get me ter run home like a little fool!" He snapped, glaring, "Ye jest want my spot, don't ye?" He plopped right back down on the ground, "Well ye canna have it."

"Well" he said, finding how snappy the colt was rather amusing "Would you rather I just lie to you?" he asked, looking down at the colt. Yes, he was a bit bigger then some colts, so his father was probably larger then most. He was still smaller then Kiefer, though.
"You're right" he said, shaking his head. "I guess your mom might not have said that. I'm just saying, It's getting late, and I know MY mother would want me home now if I were your age!" he said, noticing it was beginningh to get more dark than light "How will you find your way home if it is dark?"
He smiled. This little guy was a smart one! "It's true. But the spot isn't THAT good. Maybe I will just leave, and leave you alone in the dark, to the pray of the Kalonas and Skinwalkers. Surely you have heard of THOSE" he said, not even sure if there were any around here. Then again, he had never actually met one. Just heard of them.

Finn looked up at him and tilted his head to the side completely, "Ye've been doin' that already, haven't ye?" He stated plainly, adjusting his position on the ground until it was more comfortable for him.
Finn had the grace to look shamed slightly, "W-well, half the time she finds me an' the other half I manage ter get home before she does an' then she canna really punish me." He held his head up high (because puffing out his chest wasn't an option at the moment) and gave the older stallion a confident look, "I know these woods better than me own hoof," He stated proudly.
Finn looked at the older stallion frankly; his parents had told him about those creatures--and how dangerous they were--but Finn was of the age when he felt he could handle anything and do it better than anyone else. "I know what I'm doin', I'll be fine." He answered calmly.

Kiefer laughed "Maybe a bit" he admitted, feeing that the little joke wasn't quite working. He shrugged, and sat down next to the colt. He reminded him of himself quite a bit, but he had plenty of differences. Of course, the strong personality and opinions weren't something that were very rare around these woods.
"So, have you got any little friends?" he asked, remembering all of his childhood friends. They had done everything, run down ravines, got lost in woods, had races. That seemed so long ago. But it really wasn't. It wasn't that long. But then again, so much can happen in such a short period of time.
"Your mother coming to get you?" he asked, grinning. As a colt, he would sneak off after his parents were asleep. Sometimes he got home before they noticed, and all he got was a very tired day. Other times, they would notice he was gone, and boy, he was in for it then! "Wouldn't that be rather embarrassing?"

Finn looked at the older male curiously, both for his sudden decision to sit down next to the younger male and his question. Not many people--especially almost strangers--asked about friends. Then again, Finn had never really met any adults outside his parents, why should he assume anything about a meeting like this?
"Aye, I do," He answered, thinking about them and tilting his head to the side in thought, "Mostly girls though, is that normal?" He asked, giving the other stallion a confused look, "Honestly, tis too often I met girls, the only other boys I've seen are me brother an' me Da an' me grandda." He sighed mournfully. Was it too much to ask to meet another colt?
Finn gave him a surprised look, "Why would I be surprised?" He asked, wondering why anyone else would, "After me Ma catches me an' lectures me on the first half of the way back, we usually race back ter home fer the fun of it. Ma's amazin' jest like Da says."
He grinned innocently, "Tis fun ter see them play too. Da always nuzzles Ma an' Ma gets all flustered an' tells him ter stop it but he laughs an' does it again." He pouted a bit though, "But Ma doesn' do that fer me or me brother though. Only Da." It made him wonder if girls would do that if he ever nuzzled them. It looked like something that was fun to do.

Kiefer smiled. "Oh, actually it is quite common. I only really met one colt when I was younger, he and I got in a fight." he thought back, hardly able to remember the name of the little twirp that had picked a fight with him. Then again, if Kiefer recalled right, he had been the one that made the first hit. "I've still got the scare" he added, looking down at the little scratch on his shoulder. It had seemed so much bigger when he was younger. Now, it was barely noticeable.
He looked up at the sky, now it was practically dark. Hopefully the colt's mother wouldn't catch Kiefer hanging out with him. The last thing he needed was an angry mare lecturing HIM. Then again, it was true that Kiefer had tried to get the little guy to go home...
"Well, that sounds like fun." he said. Sounded like the little guy and his mother were quite alike. Kiefer thought about his own mother. Looks wise, they were practically identical, except she was more radiantly golden then Kiefer was. Personality wise, she was always calm, kind, and level headed for the most part. Nothing like Kiefer at all.
"Well, I think you'll understand that all when you are older" he said, laughing. Of course, Kiefer had never nuzzled a mare before, other than his sisters. So really, he barely understood love at all.

Finn sighed mournfully, he only had his brother to play with if he wanted male company, and Faolen wasn't fun enough half the time. Finn perked a bit at the thought of a scar, his Ma had plenty from when she was a foal, same as his Da. He couldn't really see it though from his position, a pity.
Finn nodded eagerly, grinning, "Ma's great. I remember Da always sayin' he's "so proud of her" which usually ends up with Ma giving Da an angry look an her leavin' the teepee fer a bit." His Ma was amazing, and she seemed to know exactly what both he and Faolen were probably up to, she said it was because she was exactly like them when she was a foal. How amazing was that? He remembered some of the foals he'd met had Ma who didn't understand them like that and he felt proud that his was like that.
Finn sighed again, "That's what Da says! Why canna I know now? Is it some big secret? I promise I won' tell!" He looked up at the older stallion with the soulful child eyes that parents almost always melted against.
